THE RING OF THE TRIIE METAL.
A few days since, the telegraph informed
us that Connecticut, by a vote of her Legis
lature, refused to strike the word “ white"
from her State Constitution. We elsewhere
present fib oqj taken from
the New Haven Lever, entitled “Ihe First
Great Battle," which gives a striking illus
tration of the steadfastness of the true De
mocracy of a gallant Commonwealth. This
contest in the Connecticut Legislature was
indeed the “ first great battle. The victory
was then achieved, as it ever will be before
the people of these States, when there are
men of the highest principles and purpose
arrayed in the fight.
The Connecticut Democracy are on the
right line. They stand where their fore
fathers stood in 1798-99. They do ndt pro
pose to ignore the gross usurpations of
Congress, but they make war upon them.
If the Democracy of Congress had been
imbued with similar spirit, nerve, princi
ples and patriotism, they would have ad
dressed their constituency in language
which would have fired the public heari as
this action of their Connecticut brethren
is bound to do. But, by some strange acci
dent, their note of retreat was issued on
the very day of this great and splendid
victory. Was it intentionally done, in view
of that victory, or not ?
Congress has to be taught a lesson—
Democrats there as well as Radicals—that
there is a v Powcr behind the Throne greater
than the Throne itself in this country,
even yet. That is the Power of the People
in their majesty. Time-serving Democrats
must be made to feel and know that the
issues in the next Presidential election are
to be between the Constitutional Party and
the party of empire, centralism and despot
ism. There is no middle ground between
these parties. And if they expect to put
up a “Conservative” ticket, so-called, ac
cepting the Radical usurpations as “ veri
ties” and “fixed facts,” they may count
certainly upon another banner being raised
—the old Jeffersonian banner. All the
time-servers may go to Radicalism* where
they belong. It is a thousand times better
to be defeated In 1872 than to barter away
our birth-rights for something worse than
a mess of broth, for it will be a broth filled
with the deadliest poison. The country
can never be saved until the friends of Con
stitutional Liberty shall rally upon a sound
platform of principles and stand prepared
to battle to the last against tyranny. All
other expedients are mere quackery, and
no victory gained by humbug, if such a
thing is possible, would be worth the win
ning.
The Democratic Congressional Man
ifesto. —If the recently published address
of the Democratic Congressmen is to be
taken as tfie first grand pronunciamento of
the campaign, the initiative shot into the
euemy’s camp, it may as well be said to
have fallen stillborn, or, like the fuse of
damp powder, fizzled out before it attract
ed attention. It would not fill worthily a
place in the political column of a country
Democratic newspaper, and that seems to
be the way in which that class of journals
are treating the document.— N. T- Herald,
This is sarcastic, but true. The Demo
cratic address has fallen upon an ex
pectant public, not like an inspiration of
victory, but after the fashion of a wet
blanket. The reason is very obvious. The
sound Democracy of this country, North
and South, have had their fill of shams.
No quasi endorsement of Congressional
usurpation by so-called Democratic Con
gressmen will ever rouse the masses tt>
make A great and triumphant campaign.
When the Democracy fight for nothing but
spoils, then they are false to their high
mission, do not deserve to succeed, and,
what is more to the purpose, will surelj
provoke greater disasters. It is very plain
that worthy leaders cannot be found in
Congress. The man of men who shall re
deem this country has not yet been evoked.
Sumner— The Richmond "Whig says:
“ New England can manufacture uut
“ megs out of wood. It is not, therefore,
“ surprising that she should manufacture a
“ great man out of Charles Sumner—a
“ thing *of shreds and patches ’ —as very
«« a charlatan as ever figured in politics
“ and letters"
And just think of the ingenuity required
to manufacture Beast Butler out of the
carefully selected cocked-eyes of three
generations of knaves !

The Jolly Dogs of Congress.
It has never been doubted that, as a gen
eral thing, our Congressmen are a jolly set
of dogs. Yesterday members, before re
pairing to the House, thoroughly fortified
themselves against the arduous duty of
discussing the Cuban resolutions, and even
went there fully supplied with the liquid
ailment. This fact is well established, not
only by the number of empty soda water
bottles whioh were afterward picked up in
the Capitol grounds, but also by the style
and language of the debate. Observe par
ticularly the report of extraordinary sounds
said to have proceeded from the mouth of
Butler. The great man had declared that,
our Government gave Cuba the same
chance it gave Spain, whereupon Sam Ran
dall, In a fiery, and yet analytical frame
of mind, shouted out from the Democratic
side: • j
“ Where ? When ? Name the time and
place, won’t you ?”
Benny paid not the slightest attention to
Randall’s barbed interrogatories. Then
Sammy stood upon his tip-toes and, rais
ing his voice to its highest pitch, again
shrieked i j
“Which? Where? How? When?
What?"
Benny looked as demoralized as a green
militia man in a shower of grape shot, and
stretching his not small moutfe to its fol¥
capacity, uttering this response:
“ Bah! bah! bah 1”
Once more Randall demanded, with in
creasing earnestness :
“When? Where? How?” J\/
And once more Benny made thfe myste
rious answer:
“ Bah! bah! bah!”
Hereupon a sharp voice in the gallery
yelled out:
(» Won’t somebody choke that old sheep?”
At Ad's cheerful proposal all the 1 specta
tors roared with laughter, and the lobbies
caught it op and roared too, and then the
members roared, and the Speaker rapped
his gavel until it broke, and the, hammer
bounded, over the desk, striking the Clerk
undn the head, and there was what Joe
Bagstdhfc would call “a tfeVllfsh jolly
time" all round. But WfiSrt, #hen and
how the Government has given Cuba the
w me chance as Spain, remains as much eg,

The First Great Battle.
The great battle of liberty on this conti
nent was fought Wednesday, forenoon, in
the Connecticut House of ReppeseniativeS-
The “Fifteenth Amendment fraud” was on
trial. TfiS Indictment of the American
people read. The arraignment made.—
The argument powerfully urged. And the
decision rendered, and placed forever upon
record. Connecticut is a white man’s
State, and U means to remain so. She re
fuses to conform her constitution and laws
to thc negro programme of the Federal
Government. The Radical proposition to
strike the word “ White ” frpm our consti
tution wA voted dowfa. Tne powerful ar
guments made by W 'W. Eaton, William
J. HamersleyrT. E. Doolittle, and others
on the Democratic side, were only answer
ed by such declamatory statements of the
Radicals as that We are a nation,”
“ Tfie Fifteefith 'Amendment is a foregone
conclusion,” “ The war wiped out the last
vestige of State rights,” “It is buttiffg
against accomplished facts,” “ We must
submit to this thing or fight,” and so forth,
and so on. -But all < these bugaboos—these
displays of “ Gesler’s Cap”—produced no
effect on the Democratic side. They stood
by the principles of Roger Sherman and
Oliver Ellsworth, and bravely battled for
the right in defiance of all the appeals made
to their, fears, and all the changes fupg on
the words “ loyalty,” “nationality,” “Con
gressional power,” “centralized govern
ment,” and the like,, heeding no more the
terrifying, spectres thus harrowed up than
if they had been so many rush-ilghts stand
ing in the path of a tornado. It was not
in the power of Congress, not even when
backed by three-fourths of the States, to
change the constitution of the State of
Connecticut, or the form of her government,
without the free consent of her people. This
was the impregnable position of Mr. Eaton,
which was not not even assailed, much less
combatted, by the Radical side of the
House. The “ Fifteenth Amendment” had
not received the approval of three-fourths
of the States. Military districts had to be
counted in to make up the required three
fourths, and no man would say that a rati
fication by such districts was such an ap
proval as the Constitution required States
that were not sufficiently States to be en
titled to recognition by Congress could not
be counted as ratifying a constitutional
amendment. And Grant’s proclamation
was a nullity without the necessary ratifi
cation by three-fourths of the States. Con
necticut was uot called upou to do what
Congress was impotent to do—make her
any less a State than she was already in
the Union. It was not for ns to emasculate
our Constitution —strike out one of its
fundamental provisions—at the dictation
of a Radical Congress. The right to regu
late her suffrage was one of those residuary
powers that belonged exclusively to the
States. No forced amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution—no fraud or usurpation
on the part of a Radical Congress to ac
complish such a result—could change the
status of the question in this State. It
was in no sense an amendment to the Con
stitution. “To amend ” was to remove
what was superfluous or faulty; to cor
rect; to supply deficiencies ; and not to de
stroy the fundamental law as it stood. The
“ Fifteenth Amendment,” so-called, was
destructive of every principle of free gov
ernment embodied in the Constitution. It
struck at the residuary powers of the
States —the powers expressly declared as
reserved to them, and over which neither
Congress nor any other State, or number
of States had, or could have, any control
If Congress can in this way strip Connec
ticut of her right to regulate suffrage and
make jt a federal right, it can strip her of
every other right, every other insignia of
nationality, and leave her without a ves
tige of a constitution remaining. These
were the arguments urged by Mr. Eaton,
Mr. Hamersley, Mr. Doolittle and others,
and, to the honor of the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, they stood by them
—making the first great light against the
“ Fifteenth Amendment, and carrying
their standards victoriously into Africa.

A Card to the Pubiie.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28,1870.
To the People of Georgia :
I desire a few words with the people of
Georgia in explanation of my conduct as
developed by the testimony before the Bul
lock-Angier Committee. Some will censure
me because they desire to do so- Others
will look at the facts, and make up a judg
ment based upon the surroundings. All
that can be said against me is, that I paid
Treasurer Angier money for doing what I
believed the law required of him. But law
did uot require him to labor at extraordi
nary hours, which lie did, and that, was
what I paid him for, and nothing else. I
never asked a bond, till the Brunswick and
Albany Railroad had done all, in my opin
ion, the law required.
I am as innocent of any intended wrong,
in this matter, as any citizen of Georgia.
Dr. Angier thought he had a right to
take pay for extra labor, and I did not im
agine it was wrong to pay him. Tiie Cen
tral Railroad has been, from the start, op
posed to the State endorsement of the
Brunswick ami Albany bonds. The fight
between the roads has been fierce. I had
it from a source that satisfied me, the au
thorities of the Central Railroad would
have me prosecuted. Knowing that lam
innocent of anv intended violations of law,
and believing that the Governor, from the
testimony, must see that I did not inteud
to do wrong, only to be relieved from the
perplexities of a prosecution, l asked and
got a pardon in this behalf.
I simply desired to be relipyed from any
unnecessary trouble and expense in the
matter. I acted ap an attorney for other
parties. The State has lbst nothing by my
act. A , ;
I have been a citizen of this State for near
a quarter of a century,/ J have obeyed the
law, paid my taxes to support the Govern
ment promptly, and labored for the com
mon welfare as faithfully as most men. I
regret this whole affair more than any
friend can sos foe. I. have labored to main
tain an upright life. Barring frailties, to
which all flesh is heir, I have a record,
which lam uot ashamed to leave behind,
when called to that “ bourne whence no
traveler returns.”
I make these statements because I desire
the good opinion of my fellow-men hud to
be understood.
Such papers as notice my connection
with this affair will confer a favor by copy
ing this note. . V. A. Gaskill.

Brigham. Young.
HIS WEALTH AND HOW HE GOT IT.
The prodigious wealth of the Salt Lake
autocrat, Brigham Young, has-been flaunt
ed in the face of the world- fat- tea years as
an offset to his multifarious crimes against
civilization and Humanity. He has- been
held up to view as one of the ablest execu
tive minds in the nation ;:a<ihan capable of
vast achievements; amier who moved the
one hundred and fifty thousand people of
his dominions like automata ns, and made
all things within the atidius of. his power
move to his bidding. We'have been told
that he was the second largest depositor iti
the Bank of England, had millions In Lon
don real estate, and costly buildings with
out number; held the; balance of monev
power in New York and other cities, the
lowest figure of his enormous gains being
placed at seventy millions; 01- , <v> j
The Corinne Reporter tells how it was
done, by whom, and for what purpose. It
penetrates to the core of this fruitful story,
and gives some interesting details, Wfiich
we take the liberty to reproduce in a con
densed form. The falsehood of the Prophet’s
wealth was sent abroad iix a quiet way* by
and through the horde of proselyting agents
scattered throughout the United States and
Europe, and for this purpose : When it
was decided by the church to establish a
gigantic co-operative iiistitutiiihn, with
branches extending through tifi capital city,
and to every settlement of the Empire,
agents were sent to Chicago, New York,
Boston and Philadelphia to purchase stocks
for the multitude of stores proposed to be
opened. The seventy millions romance
had preceded them, and, dealers vied with
each other as to who should sell the most
goods on credit to the Chief of Zion’s Co
operative Establishment. Merchandise of
every description flowed into the Territory
in an endless stream, and the thousand
stores were stocked. “Holiness to the
Lord ” furnished the trade mark, by which
all Mormons were ordered tci buy. Ex
communication from the church, which is
virtually outlawry, was visited upon all
who dared to violate the edict by trading
with a Gentile. The institution has thus
far made no dividends, and the Eastern
merchants who sold it goods were sold in
return. When they sought the where
abouts of the glittering seventy millions,
no part of it could be found.
The next scheme set on foot by the
mighty Brigham was to build a few hun
dred miles of the Union Pacific Railroad.
He took large contracts, and it was report
ed that he had realized immensely from
them. His profits may have been large,
but he claims to have received little or no
money for his work, the greater part of the
proceeds going into material for the Utah
Central, from Ogden to Salt Lake. When
built, Brigham hadn’t the means to equip
it, nor has he paid the men who did the
work of construction. What was done
with the funds acquired from the Union
Pacific Railroad contract don’t appear. He
says the Union Pacific Railroad Company
still owes him a large balance on the work.
Twentv-two years ago Brigham Young,
with a few hundred moneyless, but bigoted
followers, entered the Salt Lake Valley.—
Their first years were full of toil and suf
fering. They continued poor up to the ar
rival of Johnson’s army, sent there by
Floyd and Buchanan. This expedition put
money into their purses, and revived a
thousand paying enterprises. Then came
the war of rebellion, which was quickly
followed by the gold hunters of Montana
and Idaho. For the first time since their
lodgment in the valley the Mormons began
to prosper, and Brigham to grow rich, un
der these promising combinations. Thus
it is seen that he must have made his sev
enty millions, or the major part of it, if at
all. since 1862. Out of the funds thus ac
quired fie has been compelled to keep a
number of missionaries in the field, at
home and abroad, aud pay out large sums
for the expense of getting foreign sheep
into the fold. His tithings cannot be over
a hundred and fifty thousand per annum,
and we doubt if they are that much. His
foreign deposit cannot be large, possibly a
million or two, but he has a tight grasp on
all the estates, goods and effects of nis sub
jects, which may amount to thirty or forty
millions; certainly uot’ more. Salt Lake
City to-day, though four times as large, is
not so expensively bnilt as Denver. The
buildings are all adobe, and most of them
are of the cheaper kind. A few on Temple
street, the main thoroughfare, present an
imposing appearance, but they are built of
concrete or adobe and stuccoed off into
square blocks to represent cut stone.
Take away the forest of shade trees and
the town would have no attractions what
ever. if, with these facts in view, the
world can figure out where Brigham’s sev
enty millions came from, it must find sharp
mathematicians, and get deeper into the
archives of Mormondom than we have
been able to do-

was created in this city by the discovery
that Augustine Kenneriy, ttye City Collect

tween $20,000 and $30,000. The exact
amount was never ascertained, owing to
the system of book-keeping in vogue at
that time. Bennerly belonged to a highly
respectable family- Several years after
ward he published a statement, attempting
to exonerate h ; mself, but ip was not entirely
satisfactory. He also published a novel,
called the “ Heiress of Fotheringay,”
which did not make him a very high repu
tation as «• romancist.
During many years of his life he lived on
terms of iptimacy with a colored woman.
This woman had sey.eral children, who were
bright mulattoes. The old lady is known
as Mrs. Holland, and has resided for many
years at Cheltenham, owning five or six
acres of land there, besides property in the
city—the whole valued at about $50,000.
Her younger daughter, Augustine, was her
favorite, aud was educated in the convent
at Baltimore, in all the accomplishments
of a modern education.
The mother, having seen the colored peo
ple of the United States rise from a condi
tion of servitude to the place they now oc
cupy, fondly looked forward to the time
when Augustine would be led to the altar
by a respectable white man. But her hope
was doomed to be blighted. She had in
her employ a mulatto man named James
Madison, who drove a team belonging to
her, and hauled fire flay for the brick
works at Cheltenham. Madison was con
sidered an honesft and faithful man. Belr;™
au innif-te of the house he had frequent op
portunities of cultivating the acquaintance
of Augustine ; but his wooing was in se
cret, as he well knew the old lady would
scorn any aliiauee with him.
He succeeded, however, in winning the
affections of the girl, who Is about twenty
years of age, aud well educated. They
were married without the knowledge Os the
old lady.
Immediately after the wedding the cou
ple started on the Pacific Road on a short
bridal tonr to Rocheport, Boon county, the
former place of residence of the bride
groom. When Mrs. Holland heard of the
mirriage, her indignation knew no bounds.
She pursued the fugitives to Rocheport,
and there meeting Madison face to face,
pinned a dagger itito his heart, killing
him on the spot. Such is the account that
reaches us from anthentic sources. Mrs.
Holland was arrested on a charge of mur
der, add her trial is set for August 3.

A Shameful Life Ended.
CAREER AND DEATH OF LORD JytTHUR
CLINTON, OF ENGLAND. '
Lord Arthur Clinton, who died (5n Sat
urday, under a false name, at a little vil
lage in Hampshire, England, where he had
been hiding for some weeks to avoid arrest
on a charge of sodomy, was a second son
of the Duke of Newcastle. His father was
the third of the Earls of Lincoln, who be
came Duke of Newcastle, and was a great
statesman, as the English reckon such
things. His name, Henry Pelham Fiennes
Pelham Clinton, shows his descent from
several noble families, among others of his
ancestors were the commonwealth families
of Fiennes and Holies. The last Holies,
Duke of Newcastle, died in 1711, and the
last Pelham Duke in 1768, since when the
title has been in thePelham-Clinton branch
of the family.
The late Duke was the model of Disraeli’s
“ Coningsby ” and opposed Disraeli’sfriend,
Lord George Bentinck, in his secession
from Sir Robert Peel in 1846. He is re
lfiembered in this country from having ac
companied the Prince of Wales in his visit
to America in 1860. His wife, the mothCT
of the wretch who has just died, was a
daughter of the Scotch Duke of Hamilton,
and was faithless to her husband, who di
vorced her in 1850. Lord Arthur was her
second son, and must have been about 84
years old. He had exhausted every other
form of debauchery when he ventured upon
that which has now' indirectly caused his
death.
Some two years ago he seems to have lie
gun his intimacy with Park and Boulton;
and at one period he lived with Park as his
wife at various lodging-houses in London.
One of his landladies, a Mrs. Simpson; who
seized ids clothes for his board bill, also
confiscated about 2,000 of his letteis, which
are now in the hands of the police. A ser
vant at another house where Park lodged,
testified thus: “ I have heard Lord Arthur
call him ‘my dear’ and ‘my darling;’ I
have accused him of being a man, and then
he would laugh and show me his wedding
ring. He toid me fie was Lord Arthur
Clinton’s wife.” A bookseller testified that
Lord Arthur came to his place and ordered
some cards engraved for himself and Lady
Arthur Clinton.
Some of the 2,000 letters were read in tiie
course of the examination. They were ad
dressed to “ My Dearest Arthur,” and were
signed “ Fannie Winfred Park,” “ Fan,” or
“ Fanny.” They were of the most affection
ate character, but the most mysterious
thing about them was that they seemed to
refer to some other person beside the writer,
who was Lord Arthur’s wife and the
writer’s sister For the defense some medi
cal testimony was introduced, which tend
ed to contradict the evidence of the sur
geons who examined Boulton and Park,
and declared that they found upon them
unmistakable evidence of their guilt.
The guilt of Lord Arthur, although de
nied by him on his death bed, is generally
believed iu England. When the warrant
for his arrest was issued, early in June, he
fled, it was supposed to this country, but
in reality to Hampshire, where he passed as
“ Captain Gray.” His excitement produced
an attack of brain fever, from which he had
been suffering from the past week. He re
covered his consciousness shortly before
death, when he called for tne magistrate
and clergyman of the .village, acknowl
edged his identity, and with his dying
breath declared that he was innocent of the
heitiQijs crime with which he was charged.
No More Ice—Use Ice Water.
To the Editor of the Pad Mali Gazette:
Sir; I notice in your coluraus of yester
day a proposal to cheapen ice as a cure for
drunkenness. I shall uot enter on the
probable results in a sanitary pointofview,
but desire to point out that the great de
sideratum is not ice, but water cooled to
40 deg. or 45 deg. Fahrenheit. To cool
London water to this temperature is a sim
ple and comparatively inexpensive process.
It is the production and storing of ice that
with us is attended with great difficulties.
During the past year 1 had occasion to*
study this question practically, with a
View to insuring at any season and in any
country that meats, to be preserved fresh,
might be cooled to fit them for the absorp

have been mainly made with an ether ma
chine constructed ny Messrs. Lietje Broth
ers, which in itself has worked admirably,
but until lately the best means of utilizing
and isaving the cold produced by such a
machine were involved in some mystery.
There are two successful instances of reap
ing the fall benefit to be the use
of other machines. The one no# widely
known is that of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury

ing 15 degrees pr 20 degrees of heat from
London water is resorted to, and tbe second
is that qf the Paris glacieres. I have re
cently watched the skill with which
eeonomizlng of cold produced is provided
for by the intelligent superintendent of this
establishment and with the same machines;
gnd working 12 instead of 24 hours daily,
lie now produces 0-000 bottles of iced

years since. Gold, therefore, pgi} he had
with certainty at a cheap rate, and the
greater th e improvements in steam boilers
the cheaper will that cold be. It is one of
the necessaries of the day, uud the defi
ciency will be supplied in most pQuntries
by the artificial production of the amount

tion of B. 11. Pughe, relative to the print
ing of the revised ordinances was taken up.
Alderman Black desired to see the con
tr.ict for the city printing, Alderman
Walsh having announced that he regarded
the giving of the printing of the revised
ordinances to others than the city papers
an infringement of the existing contract.
Mayor Allen announced that he under
stood the city papers, under the contract,
entitled to ail the printing.
Alderman Black desired to know how
the work in question could be divided.
Alderman Walsh said that it could not
be divided, but bids could be secured from
each office, and the work given to the low
est bidder.
Alderman Rogers coincided with the
views of Mayor Alien as to the contract.
Alderman Black had no disposition to
irtterfere with the contract, but if the city
papers were not entitled to all the printing,
it would be well to allow others a chance
at some of the work..

produced and read the contract.

contract, moved to lay the petition of Mr.
Pngheon the table, not through any disres

tract.

the contract bound the city to give more

to all the city printing, under the contract.

Jlayor Alien deejred to know what was
the pleasure of Conncil in the patter of the
communication. If they bad to wait until
ppl. Johnston was heard from, they would
have to wait spmp time for the commence
ment of the work.
On motion of Alderman Black, the Mayor

done jmMibly if he could, but forcibly , if
necessary,
Mr. J. E. Harper was present with his

Burning of the Steamship Tennessee.
—From the Charleston Courier , of yester
day, we get the following additional par
ticulars in reference to the loss of the steam
ship Tennessee on Wednesday. On Thurs
day night, later than the Associated Press
report published by us yesterday morning,
the following dispatch was received in
Charleston:
Wilmington, N. C., June 30.
To General Wm. Gurney :
The Tennessee is bhached, about thirty
miles from Hufilthvilfe. The passengers are
all saved. The ship is ashore and scuttled,
in the lower hold, and the baggage between
decks may be saved, but it is doubtful.—
Several steamers and tug boats have gone
down. The passengers will be up this eve
ning.
As soon as the news was received the
steamer Dictator was sent to the relief of
the burning steamer, and left Charleston
about 2 o’clock. She was expected back
yesterday with whatever of the baggage
can be saved.
The Tennessee left Charleston on Tues
day evening, with the following passengers
on board;
J. S. Terry, B. F. Moses and family, R.
